The Real Culprit Wants to Get Away with Being Cute (Mystery)

A seemingly cold and abstinent female lawyer x a flirtatious, scheming, melodramatic former royal orphan Mo Yufei was a top lawyer in the twenty-first century. She landed an offer from a prestigious law firm at a young age and should have been on her way to a brilliant career. But when she opened her eyes, she had been transported to another time and place, becoming an unpopular legal advocate at the county court. Everyone hated her, and one petition was all it took for the people to call her a pettifogger. Then one day, her circumstances changed. Caught up in a vortex of cases, she found that every suspect she met tried to play the victim and charm their way out of trouble. Suspect Number One had smiling eyes, changed her clothes for her, gave her silk garments, dressed her up like a sheltered young lady, and pushed a child into her arms. "My lady! Look, Xiao Feng is so much like you. Quick, let the child call you godmother." Suspect Number Two danced with graceful movements, captivating her with every step. She clutched Mo Yufei's hand, tears in her eyes. "Your Honor, would you hear this humble woman's story?" Suspect Number Three... was the frail scholar from her household, unable to do anything for himself. Imprisoned in the jail and broken in spirit, he gave her a wretched smile. "Things have come to this. I can only hope you take care of yourself. Do not think of me." For the first time, Mo Yufei felt that being beautiful was unlucky. Every murderer she caught was beautiful and pitiful. At the first snowfall of the eleventh lunar month, the scholar brought her the first plum blossom of the morning as she practiced sword dances in the snow. He was all smiles, warm and gentle, the very opposite of her. They seemed like people who could never be together. Mo Yufei fell silent, overcome by the feeling that someone was about to charm their way out of trouble again. "Don't lie to me," she said. The scholar's hand, brushing snow away, came to a halt. As someone carrying three or four secret identities, he was under tremendous pressure. Concealing the darkness in his eyes, he smiled faintly in the cold wind. "I only hope your heart is like mine; then my love will not have been in vain." Reader's note: 1. Both leads are each other's first and only love, one-on-one romance, happy ending. 2. The mystery-solving plot takes center stage, with the romance as a secondary thread. 3. "I only hope your heart is like mine; then my love will not have been in vain" is from a poem by Li Zhiyi of the Song Dynasty. Theme: Seeking the truth
